EST - Energy Science Technology

Karlsruhe
Convention Centre

20 - 22 May 2015

Call for Papers is open until 15th December 2014!

The international Scientific Programme Committee is pleased to announce the call for papers for the EST 2015. We are looking forward to receiving your interesting 1-page contributions to our interdisciplinary conference on Energy, Science and Technology.

Energy solutions for the future need to use a holistic approach. Therefore the conference will cover the whole chain from fundamental research through development and prototyping to demonstration and application. We invite not only scientists and researchers, but also business people and companies as well as the public sector to contribute their papers.

All contributions will run through a peer-review process by the Scientific Programme Committee to admit oral or poster presentations.

We are looking forward to receiving your abstracts!

Publications

Journal "Energy Technology"

Our Scientific Programme Committee will also select a number of authors among the contributions, who will be offered the opportunity to write an extended version of their conference contribution for publication in a special issue of the peer-reviewed journal “Energy Technology” (Wiley-VCH).

Book of Abtracts

Furthermore, the organiser of EST 2015 will issue a "Book of Abstracts" which will have the URN urn:nbn:de:swb:90-442903 and therefore be a citable document. Find information about URN here:
